This nation was built by immigrants!

Hateful words invite (bid, tempt, encourage, attract, provoke) hateful actions,
which is why it ought to be “unprotected speech!”

G. W. Bush & Party (social gathering, gathering, get-together, festivity, revelry, merrymaking, bash, celebration) have ruined the Republican Party!
The holy rollers & neo-cons destroyed (shattered, smashed, cracked, ruined) the Republican Party & GOP!

Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, & all of the other Republican Presidential contenders (candidates), are all in trouble (& falling apart)!

IMPEACH THE LIARS!

Our Call: That which you do not resist (& mobilize to stop), you will learn or be forced to accept.

You’ll give up your beliefs, when I scrape up your brains off of the pavement; beliefs such that you “have some constitutional right to own a handgun!”

G. W. Bush’s agenda is a political motive!
G. W. Bush’s supporters are religiously motivated & have absolute blind faith in him!
Cheney’s ratings remain at 19% because he’s got a gay daughter, & the Cheney family doesn’t attend church!
Bush’s ratings wont go much below 30% at any given time because Bush’s family is Methodist, & G. W. Bush is figured as a messianic stature!

The Debate Goes On!

Take Back Politics From The Politicians!

Billionaires get their tax cuts!

The best healthcare decisions are not made by Politicians & Government & Corporations & the U. S. Supreme Court, but by patients & their doctors, unless (of coarse) if they are made by women!
No Rights To Women!
No Healthcare To Women!
No Life To Women!

If Alberto Gonzales doesn’t remember or recall anything during his tenure in office, why is he in office? He’s said “I can’t remember” about 71 times, in the hearings!
Alberto Gonzales doesn’t know his ass from his elbow!
Alberto Gonzales realizes: “wrongs have been committed, & I’m committed to making changes!”
Republicans are, finally, bailing on Gonzales.
Gonzales is only there to politicize our judicial system!

Guns aren’t “sacred relics!”
The right-wingers are good at wrapping the American flag, making it a “sacred relic!”
They’re producing (making) in mass quantity firepower & WMD!
Go buy a gun to shoot the next shooter!
There’s the “shoot first, ask questions later” mentality!
Ultimately, we’re talking about human lives!
The highest gun violence incidents (in the country) account with suicide!
30,000 people, every year, die from gun violence!
This is a tragedy across the world
They say: “the gun-free society in our schools is a disaster!”
Arm Everyone!

True Democrats Take Back Politics From The Politicians!

4.20.7
Showing the Virginia Tech video on television News is a “social catastrophe!”
It stems onto further “copycat” incidents of violence & terror because of the visual inspiring those who love violence & “action,” and because there is the refusal to allow the banning of gun ownership!
This week, alone, there have (already) been more than 40 “copycat” gun (and hostage-taking and bombing threat) incidents across the country!
On 4.19.7, a NASA employee takes two hostages (a male & a female) on the 2nd floor, kills the male hostage, and (then) kills himself!

We have different views of how the economy is doing!
Wall Street says that it’s going great!
Though, gas prices are arising!
Our jobs are exported!
And our kids will have a “much lower standard of living!”
http://www.usw.org/
United Steelworkers (USW)
Unity & Strength For Workers

Some believe: The reason we’re suffering is because we haven’t embraced capitalism enough!

4.20.7
The Republicans do not care about the environment;
They have their own agenda, & G. W. Bush has his own agenda;
It’s a “left-wing conspiracy” to (want to) have a clean world!

Read us our rights;
“You have the right not to breathe this air!”

Don’t urinate down my back & tell me it’s raining!

70% of the troops want to come home within 6 months!

Tony Snow is a “scrapper,”
& Scott McClelland knew what he was doing!

Glen Beck is about the dumbest talk radio guy, alive!
Bill O’Reilly is next in line!
And Rush Limbaugh says that “the Virginia Tech ‘shooter’ is a liberal,
and he’s a liberal because he hates rich people, & people who drive Mercedes!”

And the war; we’re “war’d” out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Pharmaceutical companies are in bed with this President!

“When I think, of the war in Iraq & the troops fighting there, I think about the rug in the oval office!” – G. W. Bush
We need a blood test on the President, we need a psychoanalysis on the President; and we’ll know that he’s not fit to be our President!
Their should be a database on G. W. Bush & the drugs he uses, the alcohol he drinks, the stoner that he is, the lunatic & idiocy that he exemplifies!

It shows just how intellectually dishonest these lobbyists are, just to serve the interests or their clients!
They wont give it any thought, willing to sacrifice American’s lives & the lives of our young, for their own moral high ground, for their own moral supremacy, for their own buck (profit)!

1200 Americans were in a study, & the results are that the majority of Americans believe that the economy is failing us, as gas prices are rising, & it is more & more financially difficult for Americans to just “live!”
Since 2001, the American dollar has lost 35% of its value!
Since 2003, the American dollar has lost 30% of its value!

4.20.7
Not too long ago, gold was worth $300.00 an ounce
Presently, gold is worth $720.00 an ounce!
By the end of this (2007) year, gold is estimated to be up to $1000.00 an ounce!
Next year (sometime in 2008), it will be up to $1500.00 an ounce!

Should the mentally ill be in a database!?
Should gun owners be in a database!?
We should not be in a database; to own a gun, we should have to go to a doctor for medical approval that we are physically & mentally able to own a weapon!

If we got rid of all of the guns, we wouldn’t need the data bases, either!

“I believe the Vice President is someone reflecting a half-glass-full mentality!” – G. W. Bush

“I’m the Decider” – G. W. Bush

“Bring ‘em on!” – G. W. Bush

Harry Reid told Bush: “this Iraq war is lost!”

In yesterdays hearings:
Alberto Gonzales is so damned incoherent, & inadequate!
64 times, Gonzales said that he “can’t remember!”
Only G. W. Bush says that Gonzales is doing “an excellent job!”

4.20.7
New Poll:
Hillary Clinton is in the lead, above Barack Obama!

In a Germany zoo, there’s a new polar bear cub;
& the polar bear has already received a piece of hate mail (saying that the bear is dead)!
Thank goodness polar bears can’t read!

“I’m not good at pronouncing words, anyway!” – G. W. Bush

“I’ve been in politics long enough to know that polls just go ‘poof,’ at times!” – G. W. Bush

4.19.7
Today, a NASA employee takes two hostages on the 2nd floor, kills one, and (then) kills himself!

4.19.7
Don Imus is dead!
We’re tired of the hatred, the ignorance, the bigotry, the shooting, the killing, the terror, the suffering, the pain, the guns, the WMD, the “unending” war, the stupidity, the poor management, the direction that we’re all heading & leading ourselves, the destruction, the obliteration, the annihilation, the devastation, the demolition, the ruin, the damage, the lack of education, the environmental suffering (anguish, misery, distress, pain, torment, affliction), the murder, the butchery, the bloodshed, the bloodbath, the slaughter, the carnage, the homicide, the fixated (psychotic, absorbed-rage, killing mode of ourselves);
We’re tired of it all!
There’s a hybrid criminal coming out of it all!

Do we hate thought, critical thinking, consideration, contemplation, thinking, deliberation, attention, reflection, idea, notion, thoughtfulness, kindness, selflessness, concern, study, inspection, observation, philosophy, idea, accepted wisdom, opinion, view, judgment, view, care, forethought, weighing up, interest, mind, notice, concentration, awareness, inspiration, concept, attention to detail!?

American’s are so AGAINST mental healthcare, healthcare, social services;
against medications, psychotherapy, therapy, help, treatment, the fragile human mind, psychological intervention, psychiatric intercession!
We don’t have what we need most!
We’d rather have our guns, and prisons, and a deficit (shortfall, arrears, discrepancy, scarcity, insufficiency, dearth) of education!
How stupid are we (all)!?
How can we just throw everything away!!??
What does this say about us?

News (on television, on the radio) is so “anti-intellectual;”
We want it dumber, & dumber, & dumber!

We have to wonder why Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is lying under oath; it’s (just) to protect Carl Rove,
& Carl Rove (just) wants to shield G. W. Bush!
What a crime it is that we have a Presidential Administration who is a “bunch” of crooks, cheats, liars, thieves, criminals, murderers!

You can’t have Democracy without Newspapers!
We have always subsidized that (news) in America, in order to have a functioning Democracy!
Congress shall make no laws limiting freedom of the Press!

Republicans don’t give a damn about justice or democracy in America!
They’re filibustering Legislation that would call for disclosing of information about secret CIA prisons all over the world! The Bushies don’t want us to know that information!
When Republicans filibuster: “oh, the bill just didn’t make it to the floor!”
When Democrats filibuster, the Republican’s go mad & “bonkers!”

Does Capitalism equal freedom! No!
Democracy equals freedom! Yes!

Bush is doing everything he can to destroy democracy! He’s vetoing all of the Legislation that goes to his desk, unless it fits his interests!

Americans love violence & terror; they want to see it (visually), even if they don’t want to see it!

Fire The Liars!

G. W. Bush:
“Be Afraid!
9.11.01!
Continuing Danger of Terrorism!
Nothing Will Hold Us Back!”

There should be, absolutely, gun control!

Wolfowitz is the same guy who convinced President Bush to invade Iraq!

Oligarchy’s are created in the process of big fish eating the middle-size fish & the little-size fish until all that’s left is the big fish!

Social consensus brought down Don Imus!

Accidental Firearms deaths: In U. S, 270 times more likely to die (from a firearm) than in Canada!
There are (approximately) 250 million guns in the U. S!

4.19.7
Yesterday (4.18.7), in the White House, meeting with Democratic Congresspersons:
Bush “bristled,” & was “irked,” with the Democrats in Congress! He didn’t (at all) like what he was being told by the Congresspersons!
Harry Reid told Bush: “We know you’re going to come after us, & we’re going to kick right back!”

4.19.7
“Gonzogate” unfolds in Washington DC!
(Attorney General) Alberto Gonzales is the next to go, go, go, go, go!
Gonzales is “in trouble,” “going down in flames!”
The White House says that Gonzales has done “an excellent job” of explaining himself!

4.19.7
Monica Goodling was supposed to get an immunity vote, today, but it’s been postponed until the end of April, (probably) because they don’t have the Republicans “on board,” yet!
The Republicans are never “on board!”

The Republicans think/believe that they can “run the clock out” on everything!

Republicans hate “voters rights!”
Republicans say:
“They’re registering Democrats; that’s a crime!”

More & more Conservatives piling up, & blaming the victims;
(the victims “allowing themselves to be lined up against a wall, & ‘picked off’ one at a time;
when they could have, all, rushed the “shooter,” & most of them would have survived”)!
It’s their fault that they were killed!
& the right-wing “spin:” “the feminization, the pacification, the liberalization!”
Bush, alone, at Virginia Tech, said: “the victims, they barricaded themselves inside Norris Hall, confused, scared!” And people & family members (in the audience) were passing out because of Bush’s choice of words!
Conservatives call not charging the killer an act of being “feminine,” “pacified,” “liberalized!” As if being feminine, a pacifist, & liberalized is a crime (sin, offense, wrong, misdeed, felony, fault, misdemeanor, transgression)! Like being terrorized, scared, frightened, terrified, fearful, confused, perplexed, cowering, shrinking, cringing, trembling, recoiled, protective, caring, & shielding is a fault/error!
The truth: The students & teachers (who were murdered) were defending themselves, saving others!

Americans welcome violence in entertainment form, & this is a “showing” (presentation, performance, viewing, screening, show) via NEWS in entertainment form!
At first, it’s “breaking news!”
Then, it becomes pornographic, as it’s repeated as nascioum (naucios)!
It’s a “media freak show!”
it’s not law, & order!
It’s real; he’s got a gun!
The “shooter” (Cho Seung-Hui) was delusional, preoccupied with religion, psychotic, anti-social!

Seeing violence on television, in film, in videos; it’s a source for more violence, & “copycat” terror (incidence, frequency, rate, numbers, commonness, prevalence, occurrence)!
Since the “rambling” & “profane” video of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University campus shooting “incident,” there are a number of copycat scenes (all over the country); there is no doubt that violence begets violence, whether you like to see it or not!
Seeing it on television, people go, “Oh, yeah; coolness; RADICAL!”
It, unquestionably (categorically), is a gun-toting issue!

John McCain says that guns, absolutely, are people’s right to own!
Rudy Giuliani, also, defends gun ownership!
They (the Neo-Cons, Republicans, Religious Right) are, absolutely, against gun control!

They try to make the 2nd Amendment about people’s right to own guns, but it (owning a gun) is not a right; it’s a privilege (freedom, license, opportunity, dispensation, advantage, benefit, concession)!
And they try to keep their 2nd Amendment “right,” while they take away everyone’s 1st Amendment rights!

4.19.7
John McCain has, totally, lost it!
McCain makes a very inappropriate joke about bombing Iran!
In a press conference, McCain is singing:
“bomb, bomb, bomb,
bomb, bomb Iran!”
(a take-off of the Beach Boys)
Where the hard right shows their “compassion” for the world!
“Just nuke them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
President Ronald Reagan joked about war with Russia!
If John McCain were President, now, we’d (already) be at war with Iran!

Song:
Ironic Lyrics
Alanis Morissette

An old man turned ninety-eight He won the lottery and died the next day It's a black fly in your Chardonnay It's a death row pardon two minutes too late Isn't it ironic ... don't you think Chorus It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take Who would've thought ... it figures Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye He waited his whole damn life to take that flight And as the plane crashed down he thought 'Well isn't this nice...' And isn't it ironic ... don't you think Repeat Chorus Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you When you think everything's okay and everything's going right And life has a funny way of helping you out when You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up In your face It's a traffic jam when you're already late It's a no-smoking sign on your cigarette break It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife It's meeting the man of my dreams And then meeting his beautiful wife And isn't it ironic... don't you think A little too ironic... and yeah I really do think... Repeat Chorus Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out Helping you out
…………………………………

4.19.7
At Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University campus,
G. W. Bush had the nerve of talking about the “sanctity of life;”
He didn’t want to talk about the men, women, & children blown to bits, yesterday;
230 people killed, yesterday (4.18.7), in Iraq!
Yes, it’s (the war is) going well!

Rudy Giuliani is running for President of 9.11.2001!

4.18.7
U. S. military troops are dying at the fastest rate, now! It’s insanity!
And the killing of Iraqi’s is an “escalation,” as well!
Now, that’s success, as John McCain, G. W. Bush, & Dick Cheney says so!
U. S. soldiers are no longer seen going outside of the green zone; that says that it’s only getting worse!

Our Justice Department is, completely, devoid of justice!
The Bushies have transformed everything to nothing (zero, nil, zilch, naught, nonentity, not anything)!
It’s a culture of lawless activity!
It’s disenfranchising of the poor!

N. J. Governor John Corzine, who was in the SUV passenger seat, was not wearing his seat belt;
The driver (of the SUV), a state trooper, was driving 91 mph, 26 mph over the speed limit!
The poor, stupid governor was tossed all over the cab, and, now, has to apologize to the people for not setting a good example (of wearing a seatbelt & going the speed limit)!
I wonder what the state trooper has to say about all of it!

They say that there are 250 million guns in this country (America)!

Humans have an innate aversion (dislike, hatred, loathing, repugnance, distaste, hate) to kill!

“When you observe something, you change it just by observing it!”

The more emotion (dread, terror), the more unpredictable the response!
Fear paralyzes!
Pure disbelief, denial, post-traumatic stress disorder, awash in insanity all of the time!
The man’s got a gun; “stand back!”

Written by the parents of Cho Seung-Hui:
“He doesn’t love us, or want us in his life!”
Sounds like the President of the U. S!
Bush doesn’t love any of us or want any of us in his life!

The government’s feelings are that they (the gov’t) don’t want to spend money in mental health care, health care, social services!
It is “cheaper” to let people commit suicide, or injure others, or kill others;
arrest them, keep them in jail, & execute them!
In prison, they mix the populations of young male schizophrenics & adult male pedophiles! That doesn’t help, in any way!

For everyone involved at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University campus, the (mental healthcare) system failed because the (healthcare, & mental healthcare) system is broken!

We need a fair healthcare system system, & we need a justice system!

4.18.7
The Right-Wingers – Republicans – Conservatives are (all), now, blaming the college students!
“They’re not children; they allowed murder by not jumping at the killer & subduing him!”
“Why didn’t they rush the killer (Cho Seung-Hui)!!??”
“They’re all ‘pussies’ because they didn’t fight back!”
What is this anger that they (right-wingers) are exhibiting (demonstrating, displaying)?
It’s a psychopathology that they’re presenting (performing)!

A war & occupation can go unnoticed!

4.18.7
The Bush administration refuses to negotiate Medicare drug pricing, & the republicans in Congress are backing Bush up!

For G. W. Bush & Dick Cheney:
Argument #1 for not ending the war in Iraq: The Democrats want to harm the
troops
Argument #2 for not ending the war in Iraq: it has to do with 9.11.01 (associate
being in Iraq with 9.11.01)
Argument #3 for not ending the war in Iraq: The surge is working!

“There’s no such thing as global warming!” – G. W. Bush

G. W. Bush needs to “search his soul; his conscience” before proceeding to veto a “war funding bill that includes a timeline for bringing the troops home!”
“We came with hope that the President will say ‘yes!’”
“The legislation sent to the President’s desk certainly supports the troops!” – Nancy Pelosi

America is the most gun-toting, violent country in the world;
It’s who we are;
We love our guns, & nuclear bombs, & WMD!

4.18.7
This next week, Articles of Impeachment are being drawn up (called for by Dennis Kucinich) against “Shooter” Dick Cheney!

4.18.7
(Just today) 230 killed in bombings, in Iraq!
G. W. Bush doesn’t feel our pain! We (all), just, want to smack Bush!

4.18.7
http://www.ppfa.org/
DARK DAY FOR AMERICAN’S HEALTH: SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS ABORTION BAN!
This News Is “Alarming:”
Today the U.S. Supreme Court, led by Bush appointees John Roberts and Samuel Alito, turned its back on 34 years of precedent protecting women’s health and safety. In a huge step backward for women’s health, the Court upheld the Bush federal abortion ban in Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood and Gonzales v. Carhart.
Today’s ruling flies in the face of Supreme Court decisions dating to Roe v. Wade and the six federal courts that agreed the ban is unconstitutional. It takes away an important option for doctors who seek the best and safest care for their patients.
The U. S. Supreme Court upholds a 2003 ruling that bans (what critics call) “partial birth abortion!” It does not regard women’s health & well-being, or women’s rights (freedom of choice)!
This is a defeat of women’s health!
Banning the procedure is more important than protecting a woman’s health or protecting a woman’s life!
The ruling shows utter disregard for women’s health & safety, by letting politicians, not doctors, determine what medical options are safe & appropriate!
The decision to save a woman’s health is now in the hands of her state legislature! This is, especially, dangerous in Texas, where anti-choice legislators often play politics with women’s health!
This pivotal, dangerous, devastating decision will have far reaching impacts on access to care, as it opens the floodgate for politicians to intrude upon and regulate any personal, private, medical decisions made by women & men!
We ought to work to ensure that women are provided with the best & safest care under this dangerous law!
Care about women’s access to reproductive healthcare!

4.18.7
Democrats meet with the President, & they refuse to back down; there will be no more funding for the war without a timeline & the troops coming home; halleluiah!

4.18.7
31% support G. W. Bush & think that he’s doing a good job!

4.18.7
Harvard poll:
35% Barack Obama
29% Hillary Clinton
9% John Edwards

4.18.7
A truck full of 5000 bunnies was in an interstate accident!
Cops were running around gathering bunnies!
500 bunnies were killed in the accident!
4400 bunnies were collected by the police!
100 bunnies escaped to the hills, winning their freedom!

4.17.7
“They were in the wrong place at the wrong time!” – G. W. Bush
The Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University campus teacher & students were in their classroom;
they weren’t in the wrong place at the wrong time!
Bush is incompetent, doesn’t know English well, & is an idiot!
G. W. Bush doesn’t feel our pain! We (all), just, want to smack Bush!

4.17.7
G. W. Bush told the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University campus students & families “that people who never met you are praying for you!”
That “some Americans are praying for you!”
That he & Laura Bush “have hearts full of sorrow!”
IT’S IN HIS WORDS; some Americans are “good Christians,” while other Americans are “bad Christians!” G. W. Bush is creating division/polarization!
G. W. Bush doesn’t feel our pain! We (all), just, want to smack Bush!

4.16.7
(Speaker) Nancy Pelosi is, still, under fire at FOX News for traveling to (& talking with) Syria! But Pelosi did the right thing, and the Republicans hate that!
Negotiating with Syria: Condoleeza Rice wont do it, G. W. Bush wont do it, Dick Cheney wont do it!

Joe Lieberman, today, is nothing but a mouthpiece for G. W. Bush!
Lieberman: “Pelosi traveling to Syria was a mistake, bad for the U. S, good for the Syrian’s, & good for the terrorists!”

“We’re broadcasting the message of tolerance & truth” – G. W. Bush

4.16.7
John Edwards has “set the bar,” & said that he will not appear at the FOX news September 23 Presidential debate
Put FOX out in the dark!
The RNC is modering the debates, & that is injustice!
FOX is a mouthpiece of the Republican Party!

G. W. Bush has never consulted with his father on issues! He does it his way, as he struts around, and he & Cheney and all of the Bush Administration are out of control!
“I answer to a higher father!” – G. W. Bush
He’s confrontational on everything that he encounters!
The government should not be involved in personal matters/concerns!
The Terry Shivo circumstances is a perfect example!
Jerry Falwell ought to be kicked in the ass, not kissed (in the ass)!

We have a President who, literally, stole the American Treasury!

“Our Congress is pushing legislation that would undercut our troops!” – G. W. Bush
LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE! LIE!
He thrives & lives on LIES!

4.16.7
5 million Bush Administration emails missing, over the last 4 years!
That’s like saying “my dog ate my homework!”
That’s (like) 5 million dogs eating 5 million pages,
Or (like) 2 ½ million dogs eating 2 pages each,
Or (like) 1 million very hungry dogs eating 5 pages each!

G. W. Bush is out of control!
G. W. Bush is a scary man!
G. W. Bush is a bad man!
G. W. Bush’s motives are to steal, & kill, & lie!
There is chaos & bloodshed, & G. W. Bush’s response is “so what!”
Who will hold G. W. Bush accountable! Who will hold him to account!?

The Patriot Act took away the Senates ability to approve the placement of U. S. Attorneys!
This is about the 2008 elections!
This is about Bush taking away democracy, & the making of a theocracy!

“Oceans no longer protect us” – G. W. Bush
People repeat these lines, like they know what they’re saying!
(Oceans) They never protected us!

The right to keep & bear arms (owning & using a gun) isn’t a right; it’s a privilege!

Banning guns reduces crime, & it does reduce crime!

The right to keep & bear arms guarantees the right to maintain (carry on) a militia!

In the bible, it says that a man can be fined for kicking a pregnant woman, resulting in the injury or death of the fetus! But if the man kills the woman, it’s considered “an eye for an eye” (and the man isn’t charged)!

Bush & Cheney say, “No, No, No, we can’t pull our troops out of Iraq!”
“If we leave Iraq, there will be a bloodbath!”
Well, what is there, now!? A bloodbath!
How many of the troops & Iraqis & peoples do we have to kill before we are able to leave (Iraq)!!??

If they’re in the process of amending the Constitution (& changing the 22nd amendment), then the result is that Bill Clinton can be President, again! Yes!

We’re being hit over the head with fear!
Fear is the weapon of choice!
You can bring the country to war, every time, if you can make them fearful, & then you sell them on false hope!

People who say that they have “very high morals,” that they are Christian, that they are “good Christians” or have “good intentions!” Don’t they see that they are losing it all, that they are the creators/makers of death & destruction, violence & terror, terrorism & hatred of life!

We need gun control!
Ban guns!
Ban Militia’s!
Ban the military!
Ban war!
Ban WMD!

The President (G. W. Bush) believes that there is the right to own guns!
It’s not a right; it’s a privilege!
A few minutes after today’s Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University campus shootings & massacre, in Blacksburg, Virginia, the town of Columbine, immediately, started rallying for gun control!
Yes, give everyone a gun, & violence & killing & crime rises!
Nothing has changed after Columbine!
This is how people solve problems, now!
This is what it’s like, everyday, in Iraq, times (at least) 3!

Song:
Look around you at the world, pretty baby, is it everything you had hoped it would be?
It’s the right time to roll me
………………………


Violent movies & horror films have an influence!
Video games have power!
Talk of intolerance & hate & indifference has sway!
Discrimination has authority!
Lack of mental healthcare & all encompassing (from head to toe) universal healthcare & universal social services has a weight!
The cost of education has pressure!
Loss of human rights & civil rights has command!

The mental health program has eroded since President Ronald Reagan!
Reagan opened up all of the mental health hospitals, & so all of its people, with mental health problems, are on the street!
Mental Health Unchecked!
And there’s no mental health care for 100,000 returning military soldiers!
We need universal mental health care, universal health care, universal social services!
We don’t need guns, defense, war, incompetence!
A South Korean man kills 32 young college students, & then kills himself, in one day, in Virginia!
(More or less) 100 people die, daily, in Iraq!
This is about:
a culture of violence
a lack of mental healthcare
a culture of fear, panic, ignorance
a meltdown of the social service net
a meltdown of the mental health care system
a meltdown of the healthcare system

Before we went into Iraq, there never was a suicide bombing in the 7000 year history of their country!

Now, what are the parallels of what happened at Virginia Tech, & what’s going on in Iraq?
In Iraq, blowing away 80-100 (or more) people, daily, is viewed by the U. S. government as signs of “success” that the “surge” is working!
Imagine an endless, senseless production of carnage in Iraq, & the horror of every day life!
Bush & Cheney demand an endless, senseless war!

The neo-cons have shaped (fashioned, formed, produced) a culture of violence in America & in Iraq, & destroying Democracy, along with it!

70% of Iraqi children suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (bed-wetting, etc)

We have a culture of violence, a culture of war, a culture of pills, all of which is profitable

Suicide is always higher under Conservative leadership!
35,000 people would not have died had Conservatives never been in power,
according to a study between the years of 1901 and 1998!
Under Democratic or liberal leadership, there is more hope, more peace, more democracy, more freedom!

We are facing a culture problem, that (only) we can (collectively) solve!

The neo-cons view/perception:
DO IT MY WAY, OR I’M GOING TO KICK YOUR BUTT, TORTURE YOU,
AND (AFTERWARDS), YOU BETTER NOT HAVE BAD FEELINGS!

Dallas, TX is very lenient in its gun laws, & is rated, by the FBI, as the most dangerous city in the country! 1 out of every 12 people, in Dallas, have a crime ruling!
NYC has the strictest gun laws, & is rated the safest city in America!

A gun is 22 times more likely to be used unintentionally!
A gun is used for protection fewer than 2% of home burglaries!
2/3 of gun owners are killed by guns!

Guns don’t kill people; people kill people!

GOVERNMENT-APPROVED LIARS:
Tony Snow
Scott McClelland
Donald Rumsfeld
Karl Rove
Scooter Libby
Condoleeza Rice
Dick Cheney
G. W. Bush
Alberto Gonzales
“Baghdad” John McCain

In Dallas, TX, if you’re on probation, & you’re caught doing marijuana, you do life in prison!

Our troops are dying, and are wounded & ill-treated;
Iraqi’s are dying, & are maimed!
Millions live in intolerable oppression!
The horror of everyday life!
Such things are (now) so commonplace that we hardly blink when another soldier or civilian is killed!
The tragedies mount up so fast we become anesthetized. Genocide in Darfur, armed conflict in Colombia, nuclear posturing from nations that ought to know better!
And I wonder:
Have we done enough!!??
When people lie bleeding on the ground,
When human rights abuses are all too common,
When injustice & violence barely raise an eyebrow,
How can we go about our lives as if nothing is wrong?
We can help! We can end wars! We can overcome intolerance! We can show compassion & kindness to others! But we must stand together!
Restore reason, compassion, & respect in our world!

Wal-Mart doesn't think its customers want to know where the meat they buy comes from. They couldn't be more wrong.I've read about their huge network of suppliers across dozens and dozens of countries. Who knows which of those countries sells them their hamburgers and pork chops? There's got to be a reason Wal-Mart doesn't want anyone to find out.I bet if they had to label their meat, we'd find out that none of it comes from ranches in the United States. They say they're good for our country's economy, but rather than support farmers and ranches at home, they give their business to suppliers all over the world. If they had to put country of origin labels on their meat, that would be all too obvious.

Mexico: Protest murder of Santiago Rafael Cruz


On Monday morning, April 9, 2007, 29-year-old migrant farmworker organizer Santiago Rafael Cruz was tortured and brutally murdered in the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC, AFL-CIO) office in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Santiago had worked for FLOC as a member-organizer for four years in Toledo, Ohio, and for one-and-a-half months in Mexico as a full-time office manager / grievance handler. Witnesses on the scene have confirmed that Santiago was tortured by more than one individual, and that the union's office showed no sign of forced entry or robbery. Santiago is survived by his father, mother, brothers and sisters in Mexico.In 2004 FLOC won a historic collective agreement with the North Carolina Growers Association to represent nearly 10,000 farmworkers who travel each year from Mexico to North Carolina on H2-A guest worker visas to harvest tobacco, cucumbers and Christmas trees. FLOC's agreement cleaned up and systematized the recruitment of these workers in Mexico, jeopardizing the business interests of fly-by-night recruiters in rural areas of Mexico who previously overcharged workers by several hundred dollars to find them jobs in the U.S. Since FLOC established its office in Monterrey in 2005, it has been the victim of attacks in the media, deportation threats, several robberies and violent intimidation.It's typical in Mexico for state attorneys general and police investigators to presume relatively simple solutions to potentially complicated cases, especially those involving human and labor rights defenders. For this reason, we ask supporters to contact the Nuevo Leon Governor and its Attorney General's office to demand the following:A formal, timely, honest and thorough criminal investigation;Just prosecution and punishment for the perpetrators of this crime;Non-repetition measures to ensure FLOC and human and labor rights defenders are not subject to political and economically-motivated intimidation;And restitution for Santiago's family.Santiago's murder will not intimidate FLOC into abandoning its operations in Mexico. To the contrary, FLOC will reinforce the security of its office in Monterrey and continue struggling for justice and human rights protections for all farmworkers. Santiago spent years defending the rights of fellow Mexicans working the fields in the U.S. and Mexico, and his life and service will be missed but not forgotten. People wishing to donate money to help with funeral costs and securing FLOC's Monterrey staff against further attacks can make checks payable to: FLOC, C/o Santiago Tragedy Fund, 1221 Broadway Street, Toledo, OH, USA, 43609.

Gobernador (Governor) de Nuevo León
JOSÉ NATIVIDAD GONZÁLEZ PARÁS

Procurador General de Justicia (State Attorney General) del Estado de Nuevo León
LUIS CARLOS TREVIÑO BERCHELMANN

Dear Gobernador and Attorney General,

I am writing to express my outrage at the brutal murder of migrant farmworker union organizer Santiago Rafael Cruz in Monterrey on April 9. Santiago was a human and worker rights defender who devoted his life to securing better working conditions for Mexicans who toiled in the fields of North Carolina as H2-A guest workers. Santiago's union, the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC, AFL-CIO), won a historic collective agreement in 2004 with the North Carolina Growers Association to represent nearly 10,000 Mexican farmworkers who harvest tobacco, cucumbers, sweet potatoes, and Christmas trees.

In 2005, FLOC established an office in Monterrey to represent the contractual rights of its members as they travel from their home states through Monterrey en route to North Carolina. As you know, the U.S. Consulate in Monterrey issues the majority of H2-A visas, and FLOC's office plays an important role in ensuring that workers are protected from illegitimate labor contractors in small Mexican towns. FLOC's agreement cleaned up and systematized the recruitment of these workers in Mexico, jeopardizing the business interests of fly-by-night recruiters in rural areas who were overcharging workers by hundreds of dollars to find them jobs in the United States. Since the Monterrey office opened in 2005, FLOC has been constantly attacked in the media for 'destabilizing' Mexican businesses. The office has been broken into several times, and union files and equipment have been damaged. FLOC staff members have been threatened with deportation and violently intimidated.

I respectfully request that your government ensure the following steps:

A formal, timely, honest, and thorough criminal investigation; Just prosecution and punishment for the murderers; Official measures to ensure that FLOC members and human and worker rights defenders are not subjected to political and economically motivated threats; and restitution for Santiago's family.

I look forward to your timely response.

Scott Burbridge
